Morphological features and clinical significance of different types of tumor vessels in Gastric and
Breast Cancer

Purpose:
To study the features of morphology and clinical
significance of different types of tumor vessels in gastric (GC)
and breast cancer (BC).
Material and methods:
Tumor samples of 73 patients with GC
and 59 patients with BC were stained withMayer’s hematoxylin
andeosinandimmunohistochemically,usingantibodiestoCD34.
Results:
The following types of tumor vessels and structures
with endothelial lining were identified: normal capillaries, dilated
capillaries (DCs), atypical DCs (ADCs), “cavitary” structures type-
1 (CS type 1) – the structures with partial endothelial lining and
“cavitary” structures type-2 (CS type-2) – the distinctive cellular
structures in peritumoral stroma. The ADCs, CS type-1 and CS
type-2 most significantly correlated with the clinical features
of GC and BC. In GC the multiple CS type-1 and ADCs were
associated with T3-4 (p = 0.001) and N2 (p = 0.001) stages and
with a decrease of overall survival from 93.9% to 52.7% (p = 0,
0013) and relapse-free survival from87.7% to 32.4% (p = 0.0001);
in BC - with estrogen receptors negative status (p = 0.03), with
the presence of tumor emboli in vessels (p = 0.08) and with a
decreaseof relapse-free survival from85.7%to56.2% (p= 0.046).
As for the CS type-2, these structures were more often detected
in diffuse type of GC (p = 0.07). In BC the CS type-2 were more
often observed in positive Her2/new status (p = 0.008).
Conclusion:
In GC and BC the tumor vessels are heterogeneous
in morphology and clinical significance.
